Package: dhcp (2.0pl5-19.5etch2)

DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment

DHCP is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of BOOTPD!). It assigns IP addresses to clients based on lease times. DHCP is used extensively by Microsoft and more recently also by Apple. It is probably essential in any multi-platform environment.

Multiple Ethernet Interfaces are supported by this DHCP package.

Note: This package _requires_ a 2.2.x or later Linux kernel. 2.0.x kernels are _not_ supported.

This is the DHCP server from version 2 of the Internet Software Consortium DHCP package. For more information visit the ISC web site at http://www.isc.org.
